Any PLC can get it self listed. It is not just a limited company
Alternative Investments Market aparent has 2,200 companies on it's books.
AIM probably doesnt count in a normal definition of listed (though there are some requirements - AIM shell companies are not entirely worthless)
Its the replacement for the USM (the Unlisted Securities Market) ie trading of unlisted shares without the full listing requirements.
Clearly we need a good definition of what listed means; also investment trusts and suchlike generally have laxer requirements and probably should not be included.
